Four of the five members nominated to the Legislative Council on Tueday, were sworn in by the Chairman of the Legislative Council on Wednesday.  V S Ugrappa, Iqbal Saradgi, Abdul Jabbar and Ivan D’Souza, all Congress members took their oath.

However, actor Jayamala, who is said to be waiting for an auspicious day to swear-in, is likely to take oath on June 30.

Chiding Jayamala, who was sitting in the visitors’ gallery, JD(S) MLC M C Nanaiah said that he also knew a little about astrology which suggested that the noted actor will take oath a day or two. It is said that Wednesday being amavasye, Jayamala decided to postpone her swearing-in.
